Is this just a lack of self-control? Is my procrastination a "bad" thing if I can still pull above average grades? In essense, "what the fuck is my deal?"
I wouldn't say it was lack of self control myself. As a habitual procrastinator, I empathise with you position, but I hasten to point out that you, unlike many people are able to muster the self control required to cram massive amounts of work into short periods of time. That being said, in general this is less about self control as it is about inevitable necessity. I'm procrastinating right now. I've had an entire year to write my thesis, but I started only the other day and have less than three weeks to go.

However, as much as I'm pretty sure I will be able to get my work done in time, I have to say I myself have been becoming increasingly concerned about my procrastinatory tendencies of late. The reasons are twofold. Firstly, I feel like I've never really produced my best work at University, I handed in essays and reviews I knew were half arsed and thrown together at the last minute. At the time I was happy to accept decent marks for minimal work, but in retrospect I feel like I squandered a lot of potential during my undergraduate degree. Secondly, I feel like I've really got no right to enter into the real world with such terrible work ethic. I basically have bluffed and slacked my way through life up to this point, and am now terrified that my poor attitude will lead me to a deadend, but comfortable job where I will slowly decompose for the rest of my natural life. On the other hand, as much as I feel like I have the natural talents necessary to pursue more promising horizons, I don't want to have to work to get there.

Two things: Expect to be masterbating a lot more now.

I've been drinking so much caffeine, but now I see the missing element in my time wasting schedule!
